metadata_user_upsert

Create or update metadata for a user

How to control metadata_user_upsert ↓

AI agents use metadata_user_upsert to create or update resources in Remnawave — usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your Remnawave environment.

Medium Risk

This tool modifies user metadata, which is reversible through subsequent updates or deletions. It does not permanently destroy data (not Destructive), execute arbitrary code (not Execute), or handle financial transactions (not Financial).

From the tool's definition Tool name 'upsert' and description 'Create or update metadata for a user' indicate reversible modification of user data. The upsert pattern (insert-or-update) is a standard Write operation.

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access metadata_user_upsert gives an agent:

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Remnawave, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for metadata_user_upsert:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "metadata_user_upsert": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "metadata_user_upsert_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 30,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

metadata_user_upsert stays usable, but capped — an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Remnawave — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

What does the metadata_user_upsert tool do? +

Create or update metadata for a user. It is categorised as a Write tool in the Remnawave MCP Server, which means it can create or modify data. Consider rate limits to prevent runaway writes.

How do I enforce a policy on metadata_user_upsert? +

Register the Remnawave MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for metadata_user_upsert: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Remnawave. Nothing to install.

What risk level is metadata_user_upsert? +

metadata_user_upsert is a Write tool with medium risk. Write tools should be rate-limited to prevent accidental bulk modifications.

Can I rate-limit metadata_user_upsert? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the metadata_user_upsert rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block metadata_user_upsert completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for metadata_user_upsert. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides metadata_user_upsert? +

metadata_user_upsert is provided by the Remnawave MCP server (trackline/mcp-remnawave). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Remnawave tool call.
